bb:
So we’re back with actor Billy “Wild” Thornberry talking about his latest and finest production, the Bigfoot Toy Happening, coming soon to a theatre near you.
Wild:
Let’s hope. So we have both the Blue and the Red Ring Society, Red being replaced by Blue. The dinosaurs were the *Red* society. Blue came later. I can at least say that but not much more.
bb:
Who introduced the change?
Wild:
I can’t say too much more about it. Blue came from the outside. There was a red satchel destroyed and replaced by [a blue satchel], similar to the way my character Lazy Sideburns Man was obliterated during the Erath toy happening over in Sharieland, as you call it.
bb:
I have a feeling Taum Sauk introduced the blue ring.
Wild:
Mmmmmm. (with mouth closed)
bb:
But anyway, in present Bigfoot we have the blue ring and also possibly the blue mushroom in the center of the spool table, where Empty Promises now lives. You’ve known Tom Jones, the actor who plays that role, for a long time.
Wild:
Childhood friends, yeah. We grew up near Jonesborough, named after an ancestor of his, actually. He was a glass half empty kid who grew up and emptied the whole darn thing.
bb:
Meaning he was a totally negative being.
Wild:
Not negative. Realistic. Down to Earth in 3d. Not prone at all to philosophizing.
bb:
Yet he is our greatest philosopher.
Wild:
Bigfoot wasn’t founded on iron for no reason.
bb:
Irony, yeah. I get it. I think.
Wild:
He can live off the blue mushroom all winter long. It will keep him going, warm his plastic bones. He can eat it, set it on fire, drink it, even sleep with it. But let’s not go there.
bb:
No. The movie, named “Bigfoot the Movie”, will continue where the toy happening left off.
Wild:
It will be a harsh winter in Bigfoot yeah. But a twist will come early.
bb:
Come on, give us a couple more hints (!)
Wild:
Nope. Okay, one. Nah, better not. The Producer will get mad.
bb:
So let’s go back to the happening. What do you see as the connection between Taum Sauk and the early character you played in a happening: Lazy Sideburns Man?
Wild:
These are question we aren’t suppose to answer.
bb:
Give it a whirl.
Wild:
I’ll have to have my brians retuned.

Wild:
Toy avatars don’t think like that. They see themselves, at best, as actors playing different roles. But they can’t philosophize about it. Tom Jones can because he is considered the Original Man of Bigfoot, a representation of something greater than me or even you, baker b. He remembers the wars between toys and virtual avatars that ended in The Wilderness. He recalls, through the ages, the first appearance of toys in Herman Park. “Why can’t toys appear anywhere except for Herman and sometimes Frank Park?” he asked. And so he set about to change that. He came early to Bigfoot. He worked with God and dinosaurs to change and mold the Erath for a specific reason. He knew the limits that Frank and Herman Park would tolerate about the toy happenings. There was a limit there. Bigfoot limit. And so establishing that as an Omega Point, he created a reflective Alpha Point. This is the Bigfoot we know now as a toy happening. The Omega was channeled back into the Alpha. Bigfoot sits about as near to civilization and Blue Mountain as possible. Rust Spot — isn’t that the name for it? — is furthest away. That’s where the *real* Bigfeet live, isn’t it baker b.? We know that much. We can say that much.
bb:
Wow, that’s a lot to say! Opens up a lot of possibilities. Let me save that and read it back.
